Just moments ago, the Apple store went offline and when it returned, it did so with a newly-revised iMac range.
Though the recently redesigned iMac hasn't changed in appearance, it's what's underneath that counts, and herein lie the changes. The iMacs are now available with Intel's 45nm Penryn Core 2 Duo processors, providing 6MiB of L2 cache, a 1066MHz FSB and speeds of up to 3.06GHz.
The base 20in model, featuring a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GiB of RAM and an ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT, is available at the familiar starting price of £799. The new high-end 24in iMac, powered by a 3.066GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, ups the graphics ante with a 512MiB NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS, and is available from £1,389.00.
Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing said:
"The iMac’s gorgeous aluminium and glass all-in-one design has been an incredible hit with our customers and is just one of the reasons Mac sales are growing three and a half times faster than PC sales. With the latest Intel processors, a faster new graphics option and more memory, customers now have even more reasons to love the iMac."
